Hi Wessel,

These trees are not as easy as people seem to think as I have stated above.

The line of the trunk would cause me a little concern as you have a shallow "C" curve and a major branch coming off the inside of the curve. In many circles these are considered "No Nos".

Is it possible to bend the trunk the other way so the first main branch is on the outside? ( see virt) This gives it much improved movement.

You may ( I say may) even be able to deliberately damage the trunk to make the bend if necessary by cutting a notch if it won't wire.
